Twenty Four Seven

3 charted starts at Plainridge, best mile 1:59.0.

The Record

Twenty Four Seven appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across the 2004 season, with 3 starts for which the official chart records a finishing position. None of those starts produced a win in the charts held here, though the horse reached the frame on 1 occasion.

The fastest mile recorded here is 1:59.0, set on Monday, September 27, 2004. A harness time is written in minutes, seconds and fifths, so the final digit is a fifth of a second rather than a hundredth. On an oval of five-eighths of a mile like Plainridge a horse turns four times in a mile, which costs ground against the bigger tracks and makes direct comparison of raw times misleading.

The classes Twenty Four Seven was entered in run to 10000CL OP, CLMHC, QUA. These are condition races rather than claiming events, so eligibility rested on money already won rather than on a posted purchase price.

The drivers who sat behind Twenty Four Seven most often were Brad D Irvine (3). Driver changes matter more in harness racing than the bare numbers suggest, because the same horse can be driven for early speed or held for a late quarter depending on who holds the lines.

Questions about this horse

Who drove Twenty Four Seven?

Brad D Irvine took every recorded drive — 3 starts.

Was Twenty Four Seven a trotter or a pacer?

A trotter — every charted start is at the trot. A pacer moves its legs in lateral pairs, a trotter in diagonal pairs, and a horse is normally campaigned at one gait or the other.

Which conditions was Twenty Four Seven entered under?

10000CL OP, CLMHC and QUA. Each code is a set of eligibility conditions rather than a grade — the class pages explain what each one admitted.

What were the odds on Twenty Four Seven?

The shortest price in the recovered charts is 3.90 to one. Odds are the closing figures printed on the chart, so they reflect what the pool decided at the off, not a forecast.

How many starts does the record show for Twenty Four Seven?

The record shows 3 charted starts for Twenty Four Seven, 2004. The name appears on 5 race days in all once entry sheets are counted, because a horse can be drawn into a race and then scratched before it is run. That is what the programmes and result sheets hold, not necessarily the horse's full career: starts made at other tracks are outside this record.

How did Twenty Four Seven finish in these races?

Not in the charts recovered here. Twenty Four Seven shows 3 starts without a win, though there was 1 placing — 0 second and 1 third — in the first three.

What is the best time recorded for Twenty Four Seven?

1:59.0, on 2004-09-27. Harness times are read as minutes, seconds and fifths, so 1:59.0 is 1 minute and the rest in seconds — the final fifth is the digit after the last point.
